While the connections involved in the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on July 8 have yet to be revealed, it is known that one of Abe’s primary missions as PM was to establish good relations with Russia, and with Vladimir Putin in particular, to the purpose of resolving the territorial issues over the Northern Islands and thus finally reach a peace agreement with Russia, unsettled from World War II. Such an agreement would facilitate the vast expansion of already extensive Japanese investment in Russia, especially in the Far East, among other benefits.
Thus his assassination must be seen in the context of the US/UK/NATO proxy war against Russia in Ukraine and the direct, full-scale economic war through sanctions and subversion, and their effort to bring Japan into that war policy.
The assassin, 41 year old Tetsuya Yamagami, claims he targeted Abe because his mother had been recruited to the Unification Church and was bankrupted after giving the Church over $700,000. Yamagami accused Abe of ties to the Unification Church.
In fact, Abe’s grandfather, Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi (PM from 1957-1960), was deeply connected to the Moonies, and was largely responsible for bringing them into Japan and sponsoring their rise. What is critical is that Rev. Moon and his cult, the Unification Church, founded in 1954, were an integral part of the World Anti-Communist League (WACL), the core international institution created after the Korean War to preserve elements of the Japanese right-wing and overt fascist organizations which had been discredited and defeated in the war. WACL emerged from the networks of the Moral Rearmament movement, founded by Lord Arthur Balfour and H.G. Wells in 1921, and the Asian People’s Anti-Communist League founded after the Korean War by the CIA’s “China Lobby” networks aimed at subverting the newly established PRC.
